After entering the thick fog, all of Li Mu's senses were obscured. Both his five senses and his spiritual thoughts lost their normal functions. All he saw was a vast expanse of white.

No one knew what the fog was made of, and even if Li Mu used his magical powers he couldn't disperse it.

Not only that, the mist seemed to have some kind of consciousness, and it was gnawing at his body, as if it wanted to devour him. Even with his powerful physique as the God Emperor, he felt pain. No wonder so many people who had entered before never walked out again. With their physical strength, how could they withstand such gnawing?

Not to mention those cultivators from the Qiongzu Universe who have lost their cultivation, even the strongest martial gods of the indigenous people would not be able to withstand the gnawing of the mist.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu felt that he could still bear it and everything was still under his control, so he made up his mind to move forward.

In this unknown place, Li Mu could not fly, let alone teleport. In addition, he could not see the road, so he had to slow down. He didn't know how long he had walked before the fog began to become thinner. Through the thin fog, Li Mu saw a dark cave in front of him.

Then he quickened his pace and walked over quickly. When he came to the cave entrance, Li Mu looked around. In this small area with thin fog, there was nothing else except the cave entrance. Obviously, this cave was very extraordinary. It might be the key to breaking the deadlock. If he didn't find anything in the cave, then he would have to change his ideas.

Without hesitation, Li Mu stepped into the cave.

After entering the cave, Li Mu saw a scene that surprised him. What caught his eyes was a dazzling starry sky. The starry sky was so large that he could not see the end at a glance. He was not using his naked eyes, but his divine sense. Yes, in this "cave", his divine sense was no longer suppressed. But even so, the starry sky in front of him was endless in his eyes, and he himself was in the starry sky. After careful observation, the bright spots in the starry sky did not look like planets or star fields, but independent universes of various sizes.

Facing this scene, Li Mu murmured: "Is this the true appearance of this world?"

Yes, the laws of nature in this world are so powerful, how could there be only a butt-sized area outside!

Just as Li Mu was sighing, the starry sky twisted, and a figure that could not be described walked towards him from the distant starry sky. The reason why it was said that it was difficult to describe what it was was because the body of that thing was flashing rapidly, and each flash was the body of a different creature, including men, women, young and old, birds and beasts, which kept changing.

In just a few steps, he came to Li Mu's side from countless spaces.

"Welcome, tree grower." A voice that was unclear whether it was male or female sounded in Li Mu's mind.

Needless to say, it was the figure in front of Li Mu who emitted this sound.

Li Mu was puzzled: "Tree grower?"

"Haha, yes, those who cultivate Jianmu are the ones who care for the trees."

Li Mu's heart tightened when he heard this. This thing actually directly saw through his biggest secret!

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

"Who are you?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice. Facing someone who knew his secret, the best way was to pull him into the Lingxiao Universe, let him prove his truth on his Jianmu, and make him a loyal subordinate. But at this moment, not to mention that he couldn't open the passage to the Lingxiao Universe at all, he couldn't beat the other party at all!

The next best way is to kill and silence the witness, but again, he cannot win. The opponent's strength is far beyond his comprehension. Not to mention that he is only a small God Emperor now, even if he was at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Realm, the opponent might be able to destroy him in a moment.

"Haha, haven't we met before?" the thing responded.

Hearing this, Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you the will of heaven in this world?"

"I guess so." That thing said noncommittally.

Li Mu frowned. What does "sort of" mean? This answer was a bit too perfunctory, but now was obviously not the time to dwell on it. Li Mu did not continue to dwell on this question, but continued to ask: "Senior, where exactly is this world? How can I return to the Qiongzu Universe?"

The Will of Heaven did not directly answer Li Mu's question, but asked: "Look at the starry sky around you, do you think they are familiar?"

Li Mu became suspicious when he heard this. He was just eager to explore the edge of the void and did not carefully investigate the stars. Now that he heard what the will of heaven said, Li Mu hurriedly began to observe carefully.

However, after a long time, he did not find anything unusual.

"Senior, I am sure that I have never seen this star field." Li Mu replied confidently.

The Heavenly Dao Will smiled dumbly upon hearing this, and deduced silently in his mind, then pointed to a star field and said to Li Mu: "Take a closer look."

As the Will of Heaven was speaking, Li Mu felt as if his body was moving in endless space in an instant. The surrounding scene also changed, and the starry sky became extremely dim and pitch black.

Looking in the direction designated by the will of heaven, Li Mu was suddenly shocked. Isn't that the Chaos Sea? Although he had only traveled to a corner of the Chaos Sea, he remembered the starry sky map of the entire Chaos Sea in his mind.

Could it be that this was already the Qiongzu Universe? But that didn't make sense either. Since he had already returned to the Qiongzu Universe, why hadn't his cultivation level recovered? Why couldn't the passage to the Lingxiao Universe be opened? Another thing that puzzled him was that when he was in the Chaos Sea before, not to mention seeing the entire Chaos Sea, his divine consciousness couldn't even detect and observe the space between the two universes. Was his divine consciousness so powerful now?

The Will of Heaven naturally saw the doubts in Li Mu's heart, and smiled faintly: "This is indeed the Qiongzu Universe, but it is not the Qiongzu Universe you are familiar with. This world itself is a part of the Qiongzu Universe. It is one yin and one yang, one positive and one negative with the Qiongzu Universe. Everything you see now, including the Chaos Sea, is just a projection of the Qiongzu Universe, all of which are flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. However, the proportions here are exactly the same as those of the Qiongzu Universe. The reason why you can see through a large area here at a glance is not because your divine consciousness is strong, but because of your identity as a tree breeder."

Li Mu had a bold guess in his mind after hearing this, and asked: "So, Senior...?"

"Haha~! That's right, I am the projection of the will of the universe!" The will of heaven laughed.

"Hiss~" Li Mu took a breath of cold air. This has completely overturned his cognition. The Qiongzu Universe has projections, and the Heavenly Dao Will of the Qiongzu Universe also has projections. Then why doesn't the Lingxiao Universe, which is also a high-dimensional universe, have projections?
